Producing Work
I work for Steady Orbits—an independent film production label based in Brooklyn. In my short tenure here I’ve worked on several films by incredible artists. I work in impact-producing, getting finished films out to festivals, press exposure, and distribution. Below I’ve posted my most recent credits: Rodrigo Reyes's 499, Sky Hopinka’s maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore, and Anthony Banua-Simon’s Cane Fire.
499, Associate Producer
Following the footsteps of a time traveling conquistador, the film's director Rodrigo Reyes blends documentary and magical realism to create a staggering meditation on ancestral trauma and the lingering effects of Cortez in modern Mexico. 499 had it’s world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in 2020, where it received the Best Cinematography Award in the documentary competition. It was also awarded the Special Jury Prize at Hot Docs in 2020.
małni—towards the ocean, towards the shore, Associate Producer
Director Sky Hopinka makes his feature documentary debut with a film mostly in chinuk wawa following two people as they move in and out of the chinookan origin of death myth in the Pacific Northwest. małni world premiered at Sundance 2020.
Cane Fire, Associate Producer
Cane Fire examines the past and present of the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi interweaving four generations of family history, numerous Hollywood productions, and troves of found footage to create a kaleidoscopic portrait of the economic and cultural forces that have cast indigenous and working-class residents as “extras” in their own story. Cane Fire had it's festival debut at Hot Docs 2020.
